Blasst

On today's BLASST I get to sit down and chop it up with arguably the most popular trouble-makers in the RGV music scene, the gender-inclusive pain in the violently conservative state of Texas' proverbial "ass", and the Rio Grande Valley's premier ska group: L@s Skagaler@s. We talk about the band's loooong story, the attack on choice in this country (as well as at home), and the band's upcoming performance at this weekend's Skank for Choice event, a pro-choice benefit show that will raise funds for non-profit organizations that help provide abortion access to those who choose who need it. Case in point: Alabama, where due to the passing of "Human Life Protection" Act (100% inaccurate name btw), even being remotely connected to an abortion can result in a criminal charge. We also jam some new tracks from the Tales from the Border EP, which some of the Skags helped create specifically for the benefit this weekend.More at the BLASST Blog.InstagramTwitter
